WARNING

Improper use or failure to follow instructions can result in explosive failure causing serious eye or other injury. Read and follow all instructions for safe use. Do not leave a pressurized sprayer in the hot sun, as heat can cause pressure build-up resulting in possible explosion. Do not store or leave solution in tank after use. Always wear goggles, gloves, long sleeve shirt, long pants, and full foot protection when spraying. Never use any tool to remove the pump if there is pressure in the sprayer. Never stand with face or body over the top of the tank when pumping or loosening the pump to prevent ejecting the pump assembly and/or solution from striking and injuring you. Never pressurize the sprayer by any means other than the original pump. Do not attempt to modify this sprayer. Replace parts only with manufacturer's original parts. Never spray flammable, caustic, acidic, chlorine, bleach, or other corrosive solutions, or heat, pressure, or gas producing chemicals. Always read and follow chemical manufacturer's instructions before use with this sprayer, as some chemicals may be hazardous when used with this sprayer.
